What a crock of ****. Carolina has no fans.

Re: Article on the "Caniacs" ROFL

They are strictly fans right now because the team is winning and is 3 games away from the Cup. I can promise you that if they slip next year and don't make the playoffs, the Caniacs won't be anywhere in sight.

Your fans are already nowhere in sight!!

I drove down there for Game 5. I did not see one Canes car flag/bumper sticker/license plate/banner/jersey ANYWHERE until i was within 100 yards of the RBC Center.

The only thing that happend remotely close to canes fan support was when someguy told his son to give us thumbs down when we arrived in raliegh. That was it.

Oh, and when we were in virginia.. some lady came up to us..about mid 40's and said "Did we win?" I was like..uhh the game doesnt start until tonight. Then shes responded "Oh I had no idea, and I actually live in Raleigh (laughs)" ...we laughed too and then she said "Yeah, not many of us follow hockey too much there". I laughed again..

..Go figure huh, that was my idea of someone from Carolina? Because a female usher even told be to show my banner after the 2nd INNING.

Get real.
and maybe get REAL fans.

Re: Article on the "Caniacs" ROFL

if they couldn't sell out those tickets for game 1 and 2 within the hour then Carolina has piss poor fans.

I think these articles trying to pimp Carolina hockey is just marketing drivel by the NHL trying to get itself some postive rep and fan support in the south. Its been more then obvious that Carolina doesn't have enough real hockey fans.

But what is even funier, is that this, "Real fan's" team is in the finals, not yours!!

Luck or not, we are still there, and there is always going to be people complaining, im not worried at all, hockey is up and coming here and i am not disputing the fact that Buffalo is a huge hockey town, and that is a great tradition to have, Raleigh has a long way to go to achieve dominant hockey status, but to be in the finals twice in 4 years is a good start!!

The funniest part of all this is that you morons think I'm joking.

I'm assuming you didnt see the TSN article on your so-called "Caniacs".

Articles or not, we just won 5-0 to go up 2-0 in the series, they can write all the columns they want on the Canes!!! We are sitting back and laughing!!

Re: Article on the "Caniacs" ROFL

Just to be clear. The Carolina Hurricanes won 5-0 tonight. Don't say 'we'. You are not part of that team. They won 5-0 tonight.

Re: Article on the "Caniacs" ROFL

And I don't think the point of this thread is to rip the Canes as much as rip the fans. Carolina is not a hockey town and I don't think it even will be. I mean....those games for the Cup should sell out within 30 minutes. Reminds me of TB a few years back. Another non-hockey city winning the cup. The NHL needs to cut a few teams out of the league.
